Eating at restaurants in Rome should feel like a much-deserved gift to yourself: there’s no better place to treat your senses to the sights, smells and balmy air in the corner of a piazza after a day of exploring the Colosseo.

You probably won’t be surprised to hear that many of our favorite memories from our tours to Italy revolve around — you guessed it — FOOD.

This is, after all, the birthplace of some of the most delicious eats the world has known. Everyone has a fave among the classics, of course, the dishes we tend to think of when we think of “Italian food” — we’re talking spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, and of course, pizza.

And we indulge — oh, do we indulge! — in all of that comfort food. But we also give our guests the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones too and expand their foodie horizons.

I've sold my couch to buy a plane ticket and I've missed a midnight train to fall in love. Because it's always felt worth it. Which brings us to why Italy is my second home. Read more.
